Ok, i'm going to be honest here and say i don't really see much of a difference.

Either way, i think it looks pretty impressive on both consoles.

There really doesn't seem to be much of a difference at all based on that YouTube video, if anything the X1 version looks slightly sharper and more vibrant, although I can see what DF means when they talk about the X1 having more pronounced aliasing (most noticeable on shadows). I think it may just be the video capture though because if the PS4 version is running at 900p then surely that will be he shaper of the two in reality?
Either way though, I think you'd be really hard pressed to say that one version looks significantly better than the other.
One thing is it's funny that despite DF's recommendation for the PS4 game (at this point) many people are calling them biased for altering gamma set up since the PS4 version looks washed out.. What can you do LOL.
I don't think anyone is denying that in terms of metrics the PS4 has a notable advantage here, but the actual image quality is subjective, there's a big difference between them and in the same instance you can argue X1 version looks better in some cases. Looking at the 1080p comparison on my HDTV, the X1 version features better textures, sharper image and more vibrant colours/lighting. PS4 has better AA but at the expense of clarity.
I think they will both play the same, then it's a case of what controller you prefer and how they both hold up with regards to multiplayer (in terms of dedicated servers, X1 will use azure and PS4 will use Dice's own). It's not a white wash by any stretch.
Also check out the ps4 screenshotswith the same contrast levels on sites like ign, etc, df seems to have used different settings on the consoles, ehich is odd.
I'm not really sure what you want Ash? If you want a victory then you've got it, DF clearly stated the PS4 held the advantage here. Contrast differences aside though the texture/sharpness differences are still prominent.
Just wait until 3rd party devs get used to using that eSRAM + DME. Sound familiar?
What I will say though is that despite Dice shooting for 60fps, which was clearly the right thing to do, the technical differences between them are slightly worrying at this point. Is that what you maybe wanted to hear?
If I recall correctly, DF recommended the Wii U version of Sonic Transformed as the superior version due to off-screen play and Mii support despite it having the lowest resolution. 360 got the nod over PS3 due to superior FPS and Avatars.
I suppose for me he biggest difference was the performance, yeah visually they looked similar but the PS4 had a stronger frame rate on the whole and was pushing 55% more pixels.
55% more this early into a generation, what will the rest of the gen be like?
For me battlefield is THE test as there is so much going on and it pushes PCs to their limits. None of them reached 1080 and although the games will still be good, it leaves me slightly deflated. A bit like they've released an iphone 5c.
We will be calling for a next gen again in a couple of years time.

get to grips with esram and dme? what about ps4? isn't their toolset going to improve? what when devs start using compute?
As usual you are straight in on the defence. There already people who have played the game saying ps4's multi looks better than xboxone single player !
Looks like a reversal of last gen, where the best version of multiplat is on ps4.
To be fair I doubt we'll see a huge improvement in next gen games graphics for a year or so. Most early PS3 and 360 look a bit meh by today's standards on consoles.
It's very interesting that the IGN video seems to show much clearer images for the XBO. The DigitalFoundry video makes the XBO version look extremely dark with bad shadows - the IGN shows the complete opposite. The DigitalFoundry video makes the PS4 version look better in most respects, but IGN makes the XBO look better...

Watch them in 1440p if you can!
I'm not moving anything, like I said, not sure what you want? You appear to be nursing wounds over past DF Face-Offs and carrying these around with you in the form of a grudge which doesn't seem too healthy to me. Did you read the article as it clearly underlines the PS4 as the superior version from a technical perspective.
However, I'm far from the only person saying the X1 version looks sharper and more detailed though. It's quite plain to see, that's just an honest assessment.. while I'm not a fan of Battlefield's visual style I still think both versions look quite good here.
Doesn't seem worth arguing which look a bit meher
The wink... it's a joke. In case you don't understand what I'm referring to it's a play on suffering the countless years Sony fans were telling us that once 3rd party devs get to grips with the Cell architecture then things will change.
I find it all pretty funny but it appears some of you certainly have a point to prove/axes to grind. I didn't realise this past gen Sony fans were abused to point of suffering PTSD. You should of said.
I have been saying it was worse during the PS3
I think the problem is Xbox fans are now feeling under attack, they have big issues with the FUD been thrown around and dislike the sh** storm of hate that has target the Xbox 1. In a lot of cases these same people saw no problem with it when the shoe was on the other foot. So yes I think a lot of people do have an axe to grind, or at the very least a lot of people who went through this on PS3 are thinking "Karma Bitches".
Good God!
Is there going to be a thread like this for every single multiplatform game that's released? The same people having childish arguments over a couple of pixels? Just enjoy the game FFS!!!!
99% of joe public won't notice either!!! ... it's sad when nerds try & justify their console of choice by going 2 such sad extremes!!! ... providing summit appears on my HDTV screen I'll be happy!!!
